Think about the processes you used when you first started your business. Have those processes been developed to support the growth of your business? You may have hired more staff, implemented new workflows, or even started using software to help you manage specific workflows in your business. But, have you implemented an end-to-end business management software to manage the entire workflow?
The challenge with Silo Solutions
As your business grows, you may have started using software to streamline individual processes within their workflows. For example, a basic financial software solution may be adopted to help with accounting, invoicing, inventory, expense management, bank reconciliation, and reporting. Or a warehouse management system adopted that helps control and manage the day-to-day operations in a warehouse including inventory receiving and put-away, picking and shipping of orders, and inventory replenishment.
While this may help at the time of implementation, these one-off solutions can cause problems as the business grows. Often they are unable to integrate with software already being used requiring more processes to overcome the restrictions faced. Data re-entry is a common problem. As a result, the collection of silo solutions for different parts of the business can present more problems, and in some cases, may even be a hindrance to business growth.
Understanding end-to-end solutions and its importance.
As a business owner, it is important to be able to have control over all business transactions. That is why businesses invest in end-to-end solutions that create an integrated workflow from start to finish. Such a software solution covers every activity that is necessary to perform your business from point A to Z without using any other platforms. It provides up-to-date information of your business from all angles giving you the whole business view.
